A is also the way the inventor of the term spelled it, the way it is often spelled in science and the correct Latin form.

I'm not saying O is wrong, that's what happens in language, just adding the other points.

Yes, the article clearly spells out that she fucked up the translation.

Things evolve, I like that. Even if it isn't technically correct.

I have never heard an American say 'extravert' I am OK with that
